I'm a potato, so I don't know how to post the GIF demonstrating this. What are your thoughts on this? I think this is a very good start for this variation.
i think i figured it out, most do it with their phones, and im always on my alienware Laptop. so here is my new way, i use an Online Gif to video then i can upload to youtube and post on here, thats what im trying right now. so here you go try this link i guess. but the others that post the Twitter looking Box like its on twitter are using an App on their phones.

and then after that i can Upload Video to GIF on (Click Me:r www.Imgur.com :lClick ME)







lol kinda just figured out my own way, may take a bit longer. but on my Laptop that literally took, 10 seconds to Upload to Youtube, and then 5 more seconds to convert to GIF on Imgur



@Fellow_Swordsman
Go ahead and Copy GIF to Original Post or: the Youtube video.

Good for getting out of pressure and you guys can still stay reckless
?????


Playing reckless with Balanced gets you killed against good players. And what do you mean getting out of pressure with a jp1?
lol WTF, KEnshi doesnt get away with anything, because he does not have any Dirt. lol gets away with JIP1 which btw is garbage its -2 on block.
and Swordsman you are right, i mean i know all of us Balanced mains only play our player and not the matchup. because if we play anyone Like Sonic, we lose Automatically. the only chance we have is them not knowing the matchup.

god i played an Ermac Mystic the other day. it was torture. that fucks Steals Meter from me, BTW in corner my only paryer is EX Rising Karma. and Sad to say, with Mystic, he takes the Bar from me, Lockes me in corner, Out Zones me. the PUSH OMG, and gains life at same time WTF? i had fool down low enough to finish him with 211 olone, then he pulls off the EX push Gains life and Takes my Only Hope for Pressure my meter. and that was all she wrote.

Sooooo...
Push is safer.
EX push is + on block and has increased pushback.
EX rising karma is safe


I don't think I heard anything about TF's recovery?

I don't remember hearing anything about teleflurry.

I'll reserve my opinions on Kenshi's changes till the patch actually comes.
My impressions are actually not good now for Balanced, but we will see tomorrow.

Balanced main strong point was antiair and anticrossup and that's gone since exrisingkarma has no armor. I would have taken 2 bar armor there instead of no armor.

i didnt get to see the whole kast. and wow, so they kept mixups but removed launching armors but many can Spend 2 bars for it WTF. i think they may have ruined this game. we all have to Parctice for a month to find out whats the damage and if shit is viable again? Kenshi needed that EX Rising Karma that was basically his entire defense

db4 is still -1 on hit but now we have a launching option.. thoughts?
We will have to put our hands on hit, but...run nerf is an automatic buff to Kenshi zoning.

Tf got the same BUT ex tf is +1 and more pushback.

Regular push is decent now, ex push if fucking godlike, main tool to getout of pressure and probably crossups. Best move by far. Exrisingkarma lost utility, but it's there and now it's completely safe.

Overhead option finally has a place, and now we have SAFE 50/50s for a bar, which is not bad at all. The overhead is slow, yes, but Kenshi was not even meant to be a 50/50 char, so that's a plus.

We will see, but I definitely think we can't go to a worse version of Kenshi than the one we had lol.


Still have to check the other variations, I'm mainly hyped for Balanced.

Balanced basically gets up for free now. Bbbuuutttt.. What to do about Karma Eruption? Is it going to still be a solid anti air or are we just going to throw it at the end of 111 to stagger into a launcher?

Its uses are definitely gonna change. Bye bye to 32% punish on crossups, expush has to be used there now probably. Less damage but back to fullscreen at least.

If air attacks are nerfed maybe exrisingkarma can be used on reaction to some jump attacks, but mistime it and you get hit by the punch/kick... As you say, it might become more like a close game tool, being so safe now.

I'm labbing and after 421, you can walk back and throw out a max range KE and still be in range for a b1.

7-9 frame D2s are the best non-armored anti cross ups in the game and he has one.

He'll be fine bruhther.

My thoughts Exactly, Kenshi Balanced is looking very good.:D
I noticed that his normal combos starting with 322 can be extended with EX Slash and followed by TF? we have to make a new Combo thread or update current ones.
